I’ve been too precious with things I write. All of the things.
Via Simon Willison:
My number one tip for blogging is to lower your standards! Aim to hit publish while you are still actively unhappy with what you have written, because the only alternative is a huge folder full of drafts and never publishing anything at all.
Nobody will ever know how perfect the thing you intended to write would have been. The flaws you see in your writing are invisible to everyone else.
I figure it’s better to do my warm ups here than where I write for work. I always wind up not blogging here when I get too caught up in asking questions like, “Is this on brand?” or “Is this as good as this other post?”
I just want to use this space and get comfortable with the discomfort of not overthinking the damn thing.
